This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed. – Habakkuk 2:3 NLT
My love for animals drew me towards this particular one. It had beautiful coloured wings and I watched it fly away in great admiration. But I noticed that it had left behind a mass of yellow particles (eggs) which later hatched into a lava in about three to five days.
I paid particular attention to this lava. It was eating a lot, it gathered some leaves, turned itself upside down and then spun a cocoon around itself. For weeks, there wasn’t much activity. Until one day, I saw the most magnificent and brightly coloured butterfly coming out of this cocoon.
The cocoon wasn’t appealing and it seemed like a standstill for weeks but in the nick of time it gave way to beauty. I may not know what you are going through now but I can tell you that if only you will keep trusting and waiting for God, your cocoon state will soon give way to your awesome transformation.
Yes, the vision is for an appointed time, although slow, it will surely take place. We will look more closely at the cocoon on Wednesday.
Stay blessed!
Pray with me…
God of beauty and awesomeness, I praise You. I thank you for all I am and all I have. But Lord, sometimes I feel empty and without a purpose. In such situations, may You constantly remind me that out of the cocoon state comes the beautiful butterfly.
Amen!
